Patient's question:
My son was diagnosed with congenital hip dysplasia during his 5-month check-up. He is now being treated with a Pavlik harness. Could you please tell me if there are any side effects or impacts associated with wearing the Pavlik harness?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Congenital hip subluxation, this is congenital hip dysplasia. It is the most common congenital developmental disorder in infants and young children. The treatment of congenital hip subluxation includes surgical treatment and conservative treatment. Conservative treatment is usually attributed to children under one year of age, especially those under six months. Fixation in frog position is one of the commonly used conservative treatment methods. In your child, the use of frog-shaped braces for fixation treatment should have a certain effect.
